We're not gonna be able to do it all in one window.
We need a smart collection of signings that improves us throughout the pitch, and then the same again next summer. Gradual improvement is the order of the day, and the good news is that there's lots to improve on.

Don't think we need an awful lot spending, just get the right players in.
Basically. Players who can
A. Trap and control a ball to the standard of someone from grass roots football, the first basic skill you learn as a kid.
B. Someone who can pass coherently.
C. Basically anyone who isn't Doucourè or Harrison.
They may not be the answer, but look at the difference when McNiel and Alcaraz came on.
The give and goes, the holding up of the ball until the right moment.
We just need footballers. Never seen a more sorry bunch of grown professionals who can't do the basics in my life.
Felt this shout in my bones.
Let’s sign footballers. It’s ok to have a couple of athletes in your team if the rest are ballers. It’s ok to have a policy of signing over six-footers only - as long as some of them can actually play.
Who are the footballers in this side?

Looking at three transfer windows, possibly four, knowing how difficult it is to do business in January

Never going to be able to do that in one window, two at least.

It’s going to take a few windows, but given 13 players will be out of contract at the end of the season, leaving us with I think around 13. Who out of the 13 should we be looking to re-sign as back up, signing 10* players would be an expensive ask.
*might be less I just think ideally you need a squad of at least 23

Aside from goalkeeper there's not a position we couldn't improve on relatively easily, anyone we bring in should be able to offer more than we have

Not sure you could improve on Branthwaite for less than £60 mil. But at least ten or eleven of the existing squad will remain.

Even compared to the likes of Palace, with Eze, Sarr, Wharton, Mateta.. we're poor for quality in the squad. Huge summer ahead.

Some one who can take a corner please, because it isn’t Garner and it ain’t McNeil either

And yet we keep bringing in players who aren't better than what we have?
The Linderoths, Harrison's, Alcarazs, Betos.
The list is endless.
It's really difficult to consistently buy players that work out. Especially on a shoe-sting. I don't expect year 1 at the new place to completely remove the p&S issues

If you had two choices.
1. Keep every player we currently have plus 30 million to spend.
2. Lose every player out of contract but have 120
What one would you choose?

That's not even close. Surely we'd rather lose them all rather than keep them all even if the transfer money available was the same either way

Neither of those scenarios are feasible, you lose every player out of contract = 0 income, we could not then spend 120mil without being back in breach of PSR.
